As someone who has spent significant time in both Tempe and Raton, I can confirm there are differences not only in food, but in culture...

And there should be a statutory limit to the percentage of local government revenue that can be raised by traffic enforcement...

I have been noticing a sharp reduction in rabid, spittle-flecked hatred recently...

I grew up a mile from Hamilton Air Force Base. We were constantly interrupted by pairs of f-106s taking off under afterburner...

He's always lied and/or bullied everyone in his way. And one way or another, it always worked out for him. But now he's a stupid, demented old man in WAY over his head and he doesn't know any other way and he doesn't know what to do when it doesn't work and he REALLY just wants out of this mess...

I could live on avocados and naan...

Yes. The combat commanders need to take all the responsibility and accept all the consequences for those under their command...

They're going to claim that it's all dual use. But it's not and the whole world is watching...

Seems like it would have to be the Navy CAGs and the Air Force Air Wing Commanders. Refusing to launch strikes that violate the LOAC. You can't expect the pilots to refuse, and it would be ineffective because only some would refuse and others would fly. You have to stand down the whole package...

It's like the filibuster. Everybody says they hate it in one breath and in the next they'll tell you they can't 'unilaterally disarm'...

I read papers on inflationary cosmology...

Knicks and Pistons both raising significant doubts early in the first round...

I'll try anything to get Rush 'Roll the Bones' out of my freakin' head...

Oh, people get it. Maybe not at topic-specific levels of detail, but as an overall sense that he's destroying everything the people - both in the US and around the world - totally get it. The poll numbers bear it out....

Tends to produce farts of startling magnitude...

Now he's screwed because there aren't any arrests to be made and Trump's going to be seriously pissed sooner than later when nothing happens...

The best shot they have is Tucker Carlson, and the drubbing he'll take in '28 by a population desperate to demand change might prevent his success in '32. But he has the ability to connect the Groyper right with the bigots, christianists and fascists...

Nope. It is certainly and without a doubt Disarm by punkins...

Genuinely curious. How big is the gap between 'I'm not religious' and 'I'm an atheist'?

No flaws in the logic...

Yeah. It's not a 'coup', per se. It's what the IRGC has long wanted (and has had some success in moving toward). They know they need a figurehead Supreme Leader and Council to maintain effective control, but they are making more of the key decisions and letting the clergy know there's no option...

A man was killed in the shooting. There's no narrative that works...

We shall call this one 'Priss'...

Do they recover the test sled?

Back when I worked for a Enterprise software company, the first slide in every presentation I gave started out "your network has already been penetrated. The question is at what point are you going to discover it?"

Yeah. One would think that the best reason for joining the Navy if you're not going to fly the jet planes, it's for the food...

I don't know. I'm just an old retired outlaw and I spend part of my days screaming at the TV "Where's the crime?"

It kind of makes sense. I mean a year ago he'd never heard the term groceries- and groceries are at the corner store. It all kind of fits together...

Can you actually locate and lay your hands on all of your nuclear memorabilia? Or do you just stumble across it now and then?

Also can't forget the refusal of catholic missionaries in Africa to distribute condoms that killed millions...
